Strategies

Goo blobs are a difficult foe for any physical fighter, since they'll negate a lot of the damage those characters deal while retaliating at full force themselves. Their health is average aside from the resistance, so magic users will find them relatively easy prey, and those that find BURNDAYRAZ early will have an easy time taking on goo blobs of a higher level.

"People think that goo blobs can't talk, but that's just because they never try to communicate! They just pick us up, squish us together and play games with our lives! Well, let's see how YOU like it!"

The Tower of goo is one of the tougher bosses, since even after reducing its health as normal with spells, it can take quite a beating from physical attacks. The best chance of killing the tower of goo is to use APHEELSIK and BURNDAYRAZ in concert, whittling its health down gradually with fireballs until the point where either further fireballs or regular combat can kill it. Taking it on normally with physical attacks is an exercise in futility.
Although, if you happen to worship Taurog you can save 50 piety and use the boon "Penetration", which completely negates his physical resistance.
